Very helpful too: I called as we drove up to ask about restaurants because it was late; our host volunteered to find us a table. She booked us into a fabulous restaurant in the village. Lucky for us... More

When Beats by Dr. Dre wanted to promote its headphones in time for the World Cup, it didn't rely on a 30-second TV spot or online banner ad. Instead, it created a mini-movie showing the pre-game rituals of soccer stars Neymar, Cesc Fabregas and Luis Suarez.

Well, I do think the defaults for these "features to be overridden" should be liberal about accepting what's available. That is they should never take anything for granted. Performance doesn't matter. Code has to be correct. It's up to a platform maintainer to tune it if desired and possible. And if we go back in time for c-r4k.c far enough, then we'll see these setup_scache_funcs() and setup_noscache_funcs() functions we used to have for proper handling of set-ups both with and without secondary caches. There could have been bugs, certainly, but at least the framework was in place. Maciej |

Iam not getting any new email or gmail notifications also when I open their apps I have to refresh to see new emails. Why is this happening. I have 4.2.2
By any chance did you turn off the SYNC service in your Notification panel? Did you try to toggle it on and off ? did you check your account settings whether Sync is selected?
Yes I have turned sync off because it may sync contacts and I dont want that. So can I only turn on sync to get new emails?
Yes you will need to make sure sync is on then go to your ACCTS and sync settings select gmail and you can check and uncheck what you want synced there.
It says sync is currently having problems, will be back soon, but there is no option to disable sync for contacts.
My sync is having issues as well. But when you go to settings, ACCTS, and you see your gmail, tap on it and these options will come up.
You click the e-mail address to open sub menu for each of them. There will be a list of things you can sync under each of the e-mails. Then open the notification center and make sure the SYNC is turned ON.
This is what you need to do, erase the accounts, then when you reset each one, during the setup process there will be a screen with check boxes for syncing accounts, make sure to only leave the Gmail box checked to be synced, it's the last step before account gets added.

Have a Funny Day!

This post made me smile :) Thank you for sharing!
Sarah Allen
(my creative writing blog)Just a little late for Father's Day, oh well.
Many years ago when I got my driver's permit, my Dad took me out for a lesson.
This was in a parking lot, not even on the dangerous city streets.
I thought I was doing great, but my Dad in a monotone was muttering under his breath, "step on the brake, step on the brake", over and over. I must have been too slow because when I finally jammed on the brake, he had leaped to the floor and was pressing the brake with his hand which was now between the brake pedal and my foot.
I guess he was worried about the wall of the factory that grew larger and larger as I sped across the lot.
It was my first and last lesson from him but I was never allowed to forget it. The whole family heard about it.
My future husband finally taught me and later, our three sons to drive and all's well with the world.First of all, its been 20 min I m surfing ur blog and found very interesting. Gr8 job! I too interested in traveling. So loved dis blog. Travel in India is certainly became a boom and OTA's are doing a fab job for travelers. I found bus booking cheap air tickets booking or online is very convenient for me. Keep blogging. All d best

Simms coming to impress UT fans
By JOHN MCCLAIN
Sept. 1, 2004 Copyright 2004 Houston Chronicle Quote:
tough...wanna root for him but he is a buccaneer AND cost UT a shot at the National Championship back in majors senior year
Simms also put us in that game against Colorado.
I don't tend to put Applewhite on a pedestal like the majority of fellow UT fans. He wasn't invincible either. I remember K-State putting a couple of a** whoopings on us as well as the Big 12 game against Nebraska (the final score was a lot closer than the actual game). Who knows what would have happened if Applewhite had started every game his senior year? We might have lost to Colorado when we played them earlier that year. |
Hopefully by the end of the game UT fans will be cursing at him like he was when he was playing for the Longhorns!
I hope to see him picking himself up off the ground alot today.
I can't wait to see him in person, this time for the NFL.
I was pretty resentful of him during the whole Applewhite debacle, but I feel like I have such a greater understanding of the psychology of the current UT regime. They are holding these kids back, and it drives me insane. That's why I'm not a fan of the team anymore - just a fan of many of the players. By the time the draft came around last year, I realized that Chris Simms was going to be something special with the right coach and that his NFL potential was limitless. Forget college - it was over. I couldn't be happier that he paired up with Gruden. I'm glad we didn't pick him up in the 3rd round. His talent would have been wasted here. I don't want Tampa to beat us, but I would like to see Simms show that arm of his. I think it'll be a fun game for the fans. |
I've always been interested to see what kind of pro QB Chris would make.
He may be pretty darn good. |
It might be a good chance for the defense to pad its sack total; Simms has lead feet.
Our pass rush has been pathetic so far. Of course, we haven't seen the starting 3 DL play together yet. Man, how long has it been since Walker and Payne played in the same game??? |
I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I did want to emphasize that point. Major gets overrated by so many within the UT community because of his lack of size and his two wins over Nebraska. In reality, one of those two wins was with Ricky Williams, and the other was in Austin which is one of the toughest places to play in college football. More than anything, what defined the Applewhite era were unnecessary losses to teams like North Carolina State and Stanford and Texas A&M where Applewhite wasn't at the top of his game. The big games don't mean anything if you don't have the consistency to take care of business in all the other weeks, and the Applewhite-led teams didn't do that. I recognize that the coaching staff is and was the real problem, but I don't see how Applewhite starting makes the 2001 team any better. With that said, some of you are going to be surprised. I've watched a couple of Bucs preseason games this year (I'm a Longhorn fan, so I want to see Chris), and Simms has really surprised me with his mobility. He's not as fast as Carr, but he's surprisingly mobile for his size and for what he showed in college. He's light years than Brad Johnson and Brian Griese. He looks like he's been coached well on how to be comfortable outside of the pocket, which was his primary weakness at Texas. |

The world of vinyl figures continues to explode and as Martha would say "It's a good thing" (although I doubt she has a huge collection of Hedorah smog monsters). The creativity is mind blowing and in recent years many artists have taken to sculpting and casting their own figures that is taking this art form to a whole new level. I personally go for the abstract and horrific flavor but there is a little something for everyone. Some are funny and a play on style like the psychedelic " Sunset Glow Patty Power" designed by Arbito for Super7 and others are outright brutal like "WAR" by Bob Conge at Plaseebo. Check out some of these amazing works of art online at Max Toy Company, Mutant Vinyl Hardcore, Tenacious Toys, Vinyl Abuse and My plastic Heart.

Rideshare Incentive Program
Our incentive program has been designed for COC employees to earn points and receive incentives for alternative modes of transportation. Before receiving prizes, each staff member must successfully complete a Rideshare application form which is available at the Campus Safety Office and also online under the Rideshare tab on the Campus Safety (Security) page. Employees will turn in a monthly incentive claim form, by the 10th of the following month, with photocopies of proof of purchase of all bus/rail passes (if applicable) to their supervisor who will verify, sign and turn it in to Campus Safety.
Our program will consist of four sessions annually. Each quarter session will consist of a three month period. At the end of each session, employee's points zero out and they start over with the new session. The maximum number of points each employee may earn per quarter session is 75. There will be a luncheon at the end of each quarter session with a prize drawing for a $50 gift certificate to Westfield Town Center Mall.
Campus Safety will report to Payroll the value of gift cards distributed to employees as it is considered taxable income. Prizes may be picked up from the Campus Safety Office at the end of each quarter session or they will be distributed at the luncheon. Employees with any questions or concerns can contact the Campus Safety Office – Employee Transportation
Coordinator, Tammy Castor at 661-362-3516.

text: § 1. Penitence. The candidate for Baptism, having been duly admitted and registered, was required not only to be diligent in attending the course of Catechetical instruction [119] , but also to enter at once upon a course of strict devotion and penitential discipline. "Those who are coming to Baptism," says Tertullian, "must be constantly engaged in prayers, fastings, kneelings, and watchings, together with confession of all past faults [120] ." On these subjects Cyril's teaching is earnest, wise, and sympathetic: he seeks to lead to repentance by gentle persuasion, and pleads for self-discipline as needful for the good of the soul [121] . One whole Lecture is devoted to the necessity of thorough repentance for all past sins, and forgiveness of all offences [122] : another to the sure efficacy of repentance for the remission of sins [123] . § 2. Confession. 'Exomologesis. Great stress is laid by Cyril on the necessity not only of sincere inward repentance, but also of open confession. The words exomologeisthai, exomologesis have a twofold meaning and a wide application. (1.) In the Septuagint they occur very frequently, especially in the Psalms, in the sense of "giving thanks or praise" (Heb. hdvh) [124] , a meaning which is also found in the New Testament [125] . Perhaps the earliest instance in an Ecclesiastical writer is in Hermas, Mandat. X. iii.2: exomologoumenos to theo. I have not found any instance of this meaning in Cyril. S. Chrysostom, commenting on the words, "I will give thanks unto Thee, O Lord [126] ," says, "There are two kinds of exomologesis; for it is either a condemnation of our own sins or a giving of thanks to God." The link between these two ideas is seen in Joshua's exhortation to Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the Lord, the God of Israel, and make confession [127] unto Him. R.V. Margin. Or, give praise. (2.) In the sense of "confessing" sins, the Verb is not uncommon in the N.T. [128] , and in the early Fathers [129] . Tertullian adopts the Greek word, and calls exomologesis "the handmaid of repentance [130] ," adding that it will extinguish the fire of Gehenna in the heart, being a second remedy for sin, after Baptism. Again, speaking of the outward act of repentance, he says: "This act, which is more usually expressed and commonly spoken of under a Greek name, is exomologesis, whereby we confess our sins to the Lord, not indeed as if He were ignorant of them, but inasmuch as by confession satisfaction is appointed, and of confession repentance is born, and God appeared by repentance. Accordingly exomologesis is a discipline for man's prostration and humiliation, enjoining a demeanour calculated to move mercy. With regard also to the very dress and food, it commands (the penitent) to lie in sackcloth and ashes...to know no food and drink but such as is plain, -- to feed prayers on fastings, to groan, to weep and roar (mugire) unto the Lord God; to roll before the feet of the presbyters, and kneel to God's dear ones, to enjoin on all the brethren embassies of intercession on his behalf. All this exomologesis does, that it may enhance repentance [131] , &c." In this highly rhetorical description of the ecclesiastical discipline so dear to Tertullian there are many features of extreme severity to which Cyril makes no allusion; yet he frequently and very earnestly insists on the necessity and the efficacy of confession. "The present is the season of confession: confess what thou hast done in word or in deed, by night or by day; confess in an acceptable time, and in the day of salvation receive the heavenly treasure [132] " "Tell the Physician thine ailment: say thou also, like David, I said, I will confess me my sin unto the Lord ; and the same shall be done in thy case, which he says forthwith, and Thou forgavest the wickedness of my heart [133] ." " Seest thou the humility of the king? Seest thou his confession?....The deed was quickly done, and straightway the Prophet appeared as accuser, and the offender confessed his fault; and because he candidly confessed, he received a most speedy cure [134] ." "Ezekias prevailed to the cancelling of God's decree, and cannot Jesus grant remission of sins? Turn and bewail thyself, shut thy door, and pray to be forgiven, pray that He may remove from thee the burning flames. For confession has power to quench even fire, power to tame even lions [135] ." The confession to which Cyril attaches so high a value, whether made in the privacy of solitude, or openly before the Ministers of the Church and the Congregation, is a confession to God, and not to man. "Having therefore, brethren, many examples of those who have sinned and repented and been saved, do ye also heartily make confession unto the Lord [136] ." Elsewhere he expressly disclaims the necessity of private confession to man: "Not that thou shouldest shew thy conscience to me, for thou art not to be judged of man's judgment; but that thou shew the sincerity of thy faith to God, who trieth the reins and hearts, and knoweth the thoughts of men [137] ." He also limits the season of confession and repentance to this present life: "Therefore the just shall then offer praise; but they who have died in sins have no further season for confession [138] ." § 3. Exorcism. One of the earliest ceremonies, after the registration of names, was Exorcism, which seems to have been often repeated during the Candidate's course of preparation. "Receive with earnestness the exorcisms: whether thou be breathed upon or exorcised, the act is to thee salvation [139] ." The power of casting out devils, promised by our Lord [140] , and exercised by Apostles [141] , and by Philip the Deacon and Evangelist [142] , was long regarded in the early Church as a direct gift still bestowed by the Holy Ghost, apart from any human ordinance. Justin Martyr [143] , Tertullian [144] , Origen [145] , all speak of exorcism as being practised by laymen, even by soldiers, and women, by means of prayer and invocation of the name of Jesus. Accordingly "an Exorcist is not ordained, for it is a gift of the spontaneous benevolence and grace of God through Christ by visitation of the Holy Ghost. For he who has received the gift of healing is declared by revelation from God, the grace which is in him being manifest to all [146] ." When the extraordinary gift was found to have been withdrawn, exorcists are mentioned among the inferior officers of the Church, after readers and subdeacons [147] . From an early period certain set formulæ, such as the Divine names, "The God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob," "The God of Israel," "The God who drowned the king of Egypt and the Egyptians in the Red Sea," were frequently invoked against demons and certain wicked persons [148] . Accordingly, when an exorcist was ordained the Bishop was directed to give him the book in which the exorcisms were written, with the words, "Receive thou these, and commit them to memory, and have thou power to lay hands upon the Energumens, whether they be baptized or only Catechumens [149] ." Though this Canon speaks only of exorcising Energumens, or such persons as were supposed to be possessed by evil spirits, we must remember that the power of such spirits was believed to extend to the whole world outside the Christian Church. Thus all converts from Paganism and Judaism, and even the children of Christian parents were exorcised before being baptized. The practice was closely connected with the doctrine of original sin, as we see in many passages of S. Augustine, and is declared by him to be very ancient and universal [150] . In expounding the Creed to candidates for Baptism, he says: "Therefore, as you have seen this day, and as you know, even little children are breathed on and exorcised, that the hostile power of the devil may be driven out of them, which deceived one man in order that he might get possession of all men [151] ." We find accordingly that Cyril enforces the duty of attending the Exorcisms on all the candidates alike, and from his use of the Plural (Exorcisms) we see that the ceremony was often repeated for each person. Thus in the Clementine Homilies Peter is represented as saying, "Whoever of you wish to be baptized, begin from to-morrow to fast, and each day have hands laid upon you [152] ," the imposition of hands being one of the ceremonies used in exorcism [153] . From expressions in the Introductory Lecture, "When ye have come in before the hour of the exorcisms [154] ," and again, "when your exorcism has been done, until the others who are to be exorcised have come [155] ," it seems that before each Catechizing the candidates were all exorcised, one by one [156] , and that the earlier, after returning from their own exorcism, had to wait for those who came later. The catechizing was thus frequently delayed till late in the day, and Cyril often complains of the shortness of the time left at his disposal [157] . At Antioch, the Catechizing preceded the Exorcism, as we learn from S. Chrysostom: "After you have heard our instruction, they take off your sandals, and unclothe you, and send you on naked and barefoot, with your tunic only, to the utterances of the Exorcists [158] ." Cyril says nothing of this unclothing, but mentions another ceremony as practised at Jerusalem: "Thy face has been veiled, that thy mind may henceforward be free, lest the eye by roving make the heart rove also. But when thine eyes are veiled, thine ears are not hindered from receiving the means of salvation [159] ." The veil may also have been a symbol of the slavery and darkness of sin, as S. Augustine regards the removal of the veil on the octave of Easter as symbolising the spiritual liberty of the baptized [160] . Of this meaning Cyril makes no express mention. In the Greek Euchologion, as quoted by Kleopas, the act of the Exorcist is thus described: "And the Priest breathes upon his mouth, his forehead, and his breast, saying, Drive forth from him every evil and unclean spirit, hidden and lurking in his heart, the spirit of error, the spirit of wickedness [161] , &c." Besides such invocations of the names of God, as we have mentioned above, the Exorcist used set forms of prayer "collected out of the Holy Scriptures." Their effect, as described by Cyril, is to "set the soul, as it were, on fire," and scare the evil spirit away; and his meaning may be illustrated by a passage of Tertullian, who says [162] : "All the authority and power we have over them is from naming the name of Christ, and recalling to their memory the woes with which God threatens them at the hands of Christ as Judge....So at our touch and breathing, overwhelmed by the thought of those judgment-fires, they leave the bodies they have entered, at our command, unwilling and distressed, and before your very eyes put to an open shame." The Exorcisms were performed in the Church; where also the Lectures were delivered, Catechumens of the lower order being excluded, "and the doors looking towards the city closed [163] , while those which looked towards the Holy Sepulchre, from which the ruins of the ancient Temple, Golgotha, and the old city could be seen, were left open [164] ."

Put toothpaste on a pimple? You may have heard this suggestion, but experts on acne say don't do it.
If you try it, that spot on your skin could get even more red, irritated, and noticeable. Why? Today, there are so many different kinds of toothpastes — and many contain ingredients that can hurt your skin. It makes sense that you don't want all those whitening, tartar-reducing ingredients on your face!
It's better to use medicine designed to treat pimples. Try acne creams or gels that contain 1% salicylic acid, or 2.5% benzoyl peroxide.
Check with your mom or dad first if you're trying these creams for the first time. They can help you buy the right one and use it correctly. Your doctor also can help you deal with pimples and can recommend other medicines, if needed.

Wow, i have been flying for many years the pa prop adapters, and i have never had one come off.... i heard a good trick is to apply a small drop of loctite between the shaft and adapter. But i have no experience with that, and can't recommend it.
Here is the recommendation of how to install it written by PA
Here is what I recommend: 1. Fit the prop adaptor, spinner backplate and propeller then lightly fasten the nut while keeping a small gap between the cowl and spinner's backplate (you can use a spacer to keep the gap). At this stage don't bother aligning the prop on the backplate. 2. Loosen the nut and remove the backplate. 3. At this stage the collet will not come off as it is lightly clamped on the motor shaft. Install the prop and nut without the backplate. This time firmly fasten the nut. 4. Loosen the nut and install the backplate while aligning the propeller as the final installation. What this procedure provides you is a very firm grip of the prop adaptor on the motor shaft. In fact after step 3 you will not be able to remove the prop adaptor UNLESS you will use the prop adaptor puller. You will bent the shaft, crack the cowl, break the motor box firewall before the collet will come off if using tools other than the prop adaptor puller. |
I'll try tighter next time, but several posts in this thread suggest the problem is the lack of contact/bite into the prop with the backplate (which is not knurled). |
Latest blog entry: Information on FAA litigations,...
Here is one possible place to buy, I got mine off ebay. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXBMY4 I tried a 2" Dubro plastic spinner, doesn't fit the way the backplate mounting is recessed, rubs the cowl; so avoid the Dubro. EDIT: to be clear, I only lost the PA spinner cone. The prop, backplate, prop adaptor on tight. |
I fly without the spinner, and in fact I'm not entirely sure why I bought it - perhaps because it was meant to have some positive aerodynamic effect, but nobody seems ready to confirm anything of that nature.
Hence, to my way of thinking it's just unneccessary "unsprung" cosmetic weight; something to make the prop more difficult to balance, and the motor more likely to overheat due to less direct cooling through that central aperture. |

I just picked up a white Extreme Flight 2.5" slightly big, a 2.25" is better but EF don't do a 2.25". Have to say i'm pretty impressed with it, TBH I don't actually mind the slightly bigger size. Quality is great as is the price!
A sharp screwdriver a block of wood and a small hammer you can knurl anything. Used to have to do to handlebars all the time in the bike shop I worked at when I was younger for kids that didn't torque down their bars correctly.
The backplate is a precision piece of hardware that needs to remain balanced. I wouldn't want to hammer it and possibly bend it out of shape. This should be done at the factory.

Was just reading the latest (well just got to Australia anyway) RCM&E mag with a Bandit review and even the reviewer ended up drilling the shaft hole in the motor box larger so that the shaft circlip didn't fowl. You'd think by now PA would start putting that part of the instructions in the aircraft manual not the one with the motor that no one appears to read since it seems to be a very common question in these PA forums.
Or leave the circlip off the motor and throw it in the motor accesories bag since as far as i'm aware all the PA planes use front mount and hence no need for circlip. In other news I've got an APC 14x7 and 15x6 along with some suitable 3s lipo's to try the Bnadit out on 3s with. Motor is the same Motrolfly 2820-950 that I currently spin an APC 13x6.5 with on 4s. So it should be a pretty potent 3s setup as well. |
The Bandit really shines for slow and low 3D with the 3S setup it feels super light and floaty! and when you install a 4S pack it really opens up a whole new world with the fast high energy aerobatics!
Hi, It is actually in the manual of the bandit. I have included it in: "Motor and ESC Installation The motor is installed behind the motor box firewall using four screws and large washers (supplied with your Thrust motor). The washers are used in front of the firewall to spread the load. DO NOT under any circumstances enlarge/modify the motor shaft opening on the motor mount. If you are using the Thrust 40, remove the C clip off the motor shaft prior to installation to avoid it from rubbing against the firewall. There is no risk by removing the C clip when firewall (front mounted) installation is used. " Thanks, Shaun Precision Aerobatics Team |
Just watch out that you are not pushing the plane over the limits when using different propellers and gear. in other words the APC (same size) is not equivalent to the Vox (same size) but actually draws a lot more amps and has more vibretions. you may cause the motor box to break or something else to damage. not familiar with the specific motor you chose to use but anyway it would be experimental when using different gear. Personally i have found that Vox props give more flight time than APC, they consume less amps and are easier on battery packs! and in case of a bad landing you will only break the prop and not the plane...
I would say it's not that having bite is the issue...you didn't torque it down. Torque is your friend here not any amount of knurling. If it's not torqued down enough than you won't have enough bite regardless if there is knurling or not and in my experience will give you a false sense of correct torque as it is introducing a variable that increases friction at the point just before proper torque is achieved. A properly "torqued" bolt will actually slightly stretch the threads which causes the threads to lock. Locktite should be used just as a precautionary measure not as a variable of proper torque. Knurling doesn't do much and it actually reduces contact area. That's why race cars use slicks. If you take a look at HIGH end bikes any of the contact surfaces are either splined for correct fit or smooth for contact surface. High quality handlebar stems and handlebars are NOT knurled as they require you to properly torque down the setup. |

Jaguars land Broncos guard Zane Beadles with five-year, $30M deal
More NFL offseason: Mock Drafts | Prospect Rankings | Pro Days | Top free agents
The Jaguars want to protect whoever they end up getting for their future franchise quarterback and they took a step towards doing that on Tuesday afternoon by signing Zane Beadles.
They didn't mess around, either, giving Beadles a five-year, $30 million deal with $13 million guaranteed.
Beadles spent the last four years with the Broncos since being drafted with the 45th overall pick (second round) in the 2010 NFL Draft.
He made the Pro Bowl in 2013 and spent the last two years protecting Peyton Manning, who he should probably thank for helping him make bank on the market.
Beadles will line up on the left side along with second-year tackle Luke Joeckel to form the primary protection for whomever the Jaguars end up drafting or signing at quarterback.
As of right now his job will be protecting Chad Henne, but we'll see how long that lasts.

HPC User Forum Norfolk, Virginia & Bio IT World, Boston, 2015 – Observations from the desk of Aruna B. Kumar
27 April 2015
By Aruna Kumar, HPC Solutions Architect Life Science, Intel
15,000 to 20,000 variants per exome (33 Million bases) vs. 3 million single nucleotide polymorphisms per genome. HPC a clearly welcome solution to deal with the computational and storage challenges of genomics at the cross roads of clinical deployment.
At the High performance Computing User Forum held at Norfolk in mid-April, it was clear that the face of HPC is changing. The main theme was Bio-Informatics – a relatively newcomer to the user base of HPC. Bioinformatics including high throughput sequencing have introduced computing to entire new fields that have not utilized computing in the past. Just as in social sciences, these fields appear to share a thirst for large amounts of data that is still largely a search for incidental findings but seeking architectural, algorithmic optimizations and usage based abstractions simultaneously. This is a unique challenge for HPC and one that is challenging HPC systems solutions.
What does this mean for the care of our health?
Health outcomes are increasingly tied to the real time usage of vast amounts of both structured and unstructured data. Sequencing of the genome or targeted exome is distinguished by its breadth. Clinical diagnostics such as blood work for renal failure, diabetes, or aneamia that are characterized by depth of testing, genomics is characterized by breadth of testing.
As aptly stated by Dr. Leslie G. Biesecker and Dr. Douglas R. Green in 2014 New England Journal of Medicine paper, "The interrogation of variation in about 20,000 genes simultaneously can be a powerful and effective diagnostics method."
However, it is amply clear from the work presented by Dr. Barbara Brandom, Director of Global Rare Diseases Patient Registry Data Repository (GRDR) at NIH, that the common data elements that need to be curated to improve therapeutic development and quality of life for many people with rare diseases is an relatively complex blend of structured and unstructured data.
GRDR Common Data Elements table includes contact information, socio-demographic information, diagnosis, family history, birth and reproductive history, Anthropometric information, patient-reported outcome, medications/devices/health services, clinical research and biospecimen, and communication preferences.
Now to some sizing of data and compute needs to appropriately scale the problem from a clinical perspective. Current sequencing sampling is at 30x from the Illumina HiSeqX systems. That is 46 thousand files that are generated in a three day sequencing run adding up to a 1.3 terabyte (TB) of data. This data is converted to variant calling referred to by Dr. Green earlier in the article. This analysis to the point of generating variant calling files accumulates an additional 0.5 TB of data per human genome. In order for clinicians and physicians to identify stratified subpopulation segments with specific variants, it is often necessary to sequence complex targeted regions at much higher sampling rates with longer read lengths than that generated by current 30x sampling. This will undoubtedly exacerbate an already significant challenge.
So how does Intel's solutions fit in?
Intel Genomics Solutions together with the Intel Cluster Ready program are providing much needed sizing guidance to enable the clinicians and their associated IT data center to provide personalized medicine in the most efficient manner to scale with growing needs.
The needs broadly from a compute perspective, are to handle the volume of genomics data in a real time manner to generate alignment mapping files. These mapping files contain the entire sequence information, the quality and position information, resulting from a largely single threaded process of converting FASTQ files into alignment mapping files. The alignment mapping files are generated as text files and converted to a more compressed binary format often known as BAM (binary alignment map) files. The difference between a reference genome and the aligned sample file (BAM) is what is contained in a variant calling files. Variants come in many forms, although the most common form is the presence or absence in a corresponding position of a single base or nucleotide. This is known as single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). The process of research and diagnostics involves generation and visualization of BAM, SNPs and entire VCF files.
Given the lack of penetrance of incidental findings across a large numbers of diseases, the final step to impacting patient outcomes unstructured data and meta data, requires the use of parallel file systems such as Lustre and object storage technologies that provide the ability to scale-out and support personalized medicine use cases.
More details on how Intel Genomics Solutions aid the scale out to directly impact personalized medicine in a clinical environment in a future blog!

When I attended the International Data Corporation (IDC) Directions 2015 conference in Boston last month, one theme kept coming up: data center transformation. Presenters and conference-goers alike were talking about moving to cloud-based data centers that enable flexibility, scalability, and fast time to deployment.
The popularity of the topic didn't surprise me at all. Right now, enterprises of all sizes—and in all industries—are re-envisioning their data centers for fast, agile, and efficient delivery of services, which is what "cloud" is all about.
I had the opportunity to speak on a panel at HPC on Wall Street several weeks ago on the topic of "Cloud and the New Trading Landscape" to outline Intel's vision for this evolution of the datacenter.
As I mentioned in another blog post, the cloud is fast becoming an enabler for digital transformation in financial services. That's because cloud-based technologies give banks and other financial institutions a way to rapidly deploy new services and new ways to interact with customers.
However, cloud is not a "pure" technology and one size doesn't fit all. Each workload needs to be considered for performance and security. The primary adoption barriers for cloud are concerns around security and data governance, performance, and a lack of in-house expertise and skills to support the migration.
Intel is investing in technology to enable this new cloud based datacenter paradigm which enables innovation and allows financial services organizations to improve operational efficiency, enhance customer engagement, and support the growing requirements for compliance and risk management.
At Intel, the strategy for re-envisioning the data center is software-defined infrastructure (SDI), and it provides a foundation for pervasive analytics and insight, allowing organizations to extract value from data.
The underpinning of SDI is workload-optimized silicon, which is applying Moore's Law to the datacenter. The modern financial services datacenter must support many diverse workloads. Keeping up with the evolving needs of financial services requires data centers that are flexible and responsive and not bound by legacy approaches to how compute, storage and networks are designed. Intel is enabling dynamic resource pooling by working with industry leaders to bring new standards-based approaches to market to make infrastructure more responsive to user needs. This enables servers, networking, and storage to move from fixed functions to flexible, agile solutions that are virtualized and software defined. These pooled resources can be automatically provisioned to improve utilization, quickly deliver new services, and reduce costs.
Intelligent resource orchestration is required to manage and provision the datacenter of the future. Intel is working with software providers including VMWare, Microsoft, and the OpenStack community on solutions that allow users to manage and optimize workloads for performance and security. The data center of the future will have intelligent resource orchestration that monitors the telemetry of the system, makes decisions based on this data to comply with established policies, automatically acts to optimize performance, and learns through machine learning for continuous improvement.
This journey to a software-defined infrastructure will lead to pervasive analytics and insights that will give financial services end users the ability to unlock their data. A flexible, scalable software-defined infrastructure is key to harnessing and extracting value from the ever-increasing data across an enterprise.
The new paradigm of cloud (whether public, private, or hybrid) is a re-envisioning of the datacenter where systems will be workload-optimized, infrastructure will be software-defined, and analytics will be pervasive. Three closing thoughts on cloud: 1) cloud is not a pure technology (one size doesn't fit all), 2) cloud enables innovation, and 3) cloud is inevitable.
Finally, let me end this blog by saying that I will be taking a break for a couple of months. Intel is a great company with the tremendous benefit of a sabbatical, and starting in early May I will be taking my second sabbatical since joining Intel.
I hope to return from my time away with some fresh insights.

In every industry, we continue to see a transition to the cloud. It's easy to see why: the cloud gives companies a way to deliver their services quickly and efficiently, in a very agile and cost-effective way.
Financial services is a good example — where the cloud is powering digital transformation. We're seeing more and more financial enterprises moving their infrastructure, platforms, and software to the cloud to quickly deploy new services and new ways of interacting with customers.
But what about security? In financial services, where security breaches are a constant threat, organizations must focus on security and data protection above all other cloud requirements.
This is an area Intel is highly committed to, and we offer solutions and capabilities designed to help customers maintain data security, privacy, and governance, regardless of whether they're utilizing public, private, or hybrid clouds.
Here's a brief overview of specific Intel® solutions that help enhance security in cloud environments in three critical areas:
Financial services customers worldwide are using the solutions to provide added security at both the platform and data level in public, private, and hybrid cloud deployments.
At Intel®, we are actively engaged with our global partners to put these security-focused solutions into practice. One of the more high-profile examples is our work with IBM. IBM is using Intel TXT to deliver a secure, compliant, and trusted global cloud for SoftLayer, its managed hosting and cloud computing provider. When IBM SoftLayer customers order cloud services on the IBM website, Intel TXT creates an extra layer of trust and control at the platform level. We are also working with IBM to offer Intel TXT-enhanced secure processing solutions including VMware/Hytrust, SAP, and the IBM Cloud OpenStack Services.
In addition, Amazon Web Services (AWS), a major player in financial services, uses Intel AES-NI for additional protection on its Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) web service instances. Using this technology, AWS can speed up encryptions and avoid software-based vulnerabilities because the solution's encryption and decryption instructions are so efficiently executed in hardware.
Intel security technologies are not only meant to help customers in the cloud. They are designed to work as end-to-end solutions that offer protection — from the client to the cloud. In my previous blog, for example, I talked about Intel® Identity Protection Technology (Intel® IPT), a hardware-based identity technology that embeds identity management directly into the customer's device. Intel IPT can offer customers critical authentication capabilities that can be integrated as part of a comprehensive security solution.
It's exciting to see how our technologies are helping financial services customers increase confidence that their cloud environments and devices are secure. In my next blog, I'll talk about another important Intel® initiative: data center transformation. Intel® is helping customers transform their data centers through software-defined infrastructures, which are changing the way enterprises think about defining, building, and managing their data centers.

Recently I've travelled to Oxford in UK, Athens in Greece and Antalya in Turkey for a series of roundtables on the subject of genomics. While there were different audiences across the three events, the themes discussed had a lot in common and I'd like to share some of these with you in this blog.
The event in Oxford, GenofutureUK15, was a roundtable hosted by the Life Sciences team here at Intel and bought academics from a range of European research institutions together to discuss the future of genomics. I'm happy to say that the future is looking very bright indeed as we heard of many examples of some fantastic research currently being undertaken.
What really resonated through all of the events though was that the technical challenges we're facing in genomics are not insurmountable. On the contrary, we're making great progress when it comes to the decreasing time taken to sequence genomes. As just one example, I'd highly recommend looking at this example from our partners at Dell – using Intel® Xeon® processers it has been possible to improve the efficiency and speed of paediatric cancer treatments.
In contrast to the technical aspects of genomics, the real challenges seem to be coming from what we call 'bench to bedside', i.e. how does the research translate to the patient? Mainstreaming issues around information governance, jurisdiction, intellectual property, data federation and workflow were all identified as key areas which are currently challenging process and progress.
As somebody who spends a portion of my time each week working in a GP surgery, I want to be able to utilise some of the fantastic research outcomes to help deliver better healthcare to my patients. We need to move on from focusing on pockets of research and identify the low-hanging fruit to help us tackle chronic conditions, and we need to do this quickly.
Views were put forward around the implications of genomics transition from research to clinical use and much of this was around data storage and governance. There are clear privacy and security issues but ones for which technology already has many of the solutions.
Training of frontline staff to be able to understand and make use of the advances in genomics was a big talking point. It was pleasing to hear that clinicians in Germany would like more time to work with researchers and that this was something being actively addressed. The UK and France are also making strides to ensure that this training becomes embedded in the education of future hospital staff.
Finally, the burgeoning area of microbiomics came to the fore at the three events. You may have spotted quite a lot of coverage in the news around faecal microbiota transplantation to help treat Clostridium difficile. Microbiomics throws up another considerable challenge as the collective genomes of the human microbiota contains some 8 million protein-coding genes, 360 times as many as in the human genome. That's a 'very' Big Data challenge, but one we are looking forward to meeting head-on at Intel.
Leave your thoughts below on where you think the big challenges are around genomics. How is technology helping you to overcome the challenges you face in your research? And what do you need looking to the future to help you perform ground-breaking research?
Thanks to participants, contributors and organisers at Intel's GenoFutureUK15 in Oxford, UK, Athens in Greece and HIMSS Turkey Educational Conference, in Antalya, Turkey.

If you've wondered how many virtual machines (VMs) you can deploy in a single rack, or thought how you can scale VMs across an entire enterprise then you may be interested to know what Intel and VMware are doing. While not all enterprises have the same level of scale, there's no doubt that technology around hyper-converged storage is changing. What you may not realize, though, is there are changes in the way servers and storage are being used that impact scale to the needs of medium and large enterprises.
Virtualization and the Storage Bottleneck
Many enterprises have turned to virtualized applications as a way to cost-effectively deploy services to end users; delivering email, managing data bases, and performing analytical analysis on big data sets are just some examples. Using virtualization software, such as that from VMware, enterprises can lower IT cost of ownership by enabling increased virtual machine scalability and optimizing platform utilization. But as with any technology or operational change, there are often implementation and scaling challenges. In the case of virtualized environments, storage bottlenecks can cause performance problems, resulting in poor scaling and inefficiencies.
All Flash Team Effort
The bottleneck challenge involves scaling the adoption of virtual machines and its infrastructure, all while providing good user performance. Such problems are not just faced by larger enterprise IT shops, but small to medium business as well. Intel and VMware teamed together to deliver a robust, scalable All Flash Virtual SAN architecture.
Using a combination of the latest Intel® Xeon® processors, Intel® Solid State Drives (SSDs), and VMware Virtual SAN, SMB to large enterprise customers are now able to roll out an All Flash Virtual SAN solution that not only provides a scalable infrastructure, but also blazing performance and cost efficiency.
Technical Details – Learn More
The world's first 32 node All Flash Virtual SAN using the latest NVMe technology will be displayed and discussed in depth during EMC World in Las Vegas May 4-7. The all flash Virtual SAN is built-up with 64 Intel® Xeon® E5-2699 v3 processors each with an Intel® SSD DC P3700 Series NVMe cache flash drive fronting 128 of Intel's follow-on 1.6TB data center SSDs. Offering over 50 terabytes of cache and 200 terabytes of data storage, it produces an impressive 1.5 Million IOPS. This design will surely impress the curious IT professional.
Chuck Brown, Ken LeTourneau, and John Hubbard of Intel will join VMware experts to showcase this impressive 32Node All Flash Virtual SAN on Tuesday, May 5 and Wednesday May 6 from 11:30-5:30pm each day in the Solutions Expo, VMware Booth #331. Be sure to stop by and speak to the experts and learn how to design an enterprise scale, all flash Virtual SAN storage.

Intel is HPC in more ways than you think!
22 April 2015
By Chelsea Janes, Intel
When you think of Intel, what comes to mind? If you're a high school or college student, you may think of the latest, most visually appealing and popular brand of a PC in the market to buy and have for school projects, social media, picture editing, storage, creative design and data sharing. If you're an engineer you may think processors or chips, architecture design, supercomputers, etc. If you're a manager or IT manager at a partner business, you may think servers, revenue, total cost of ownership, performance.
When you think of Intel in High Performance Computing, what comes to mind?
For decades, Intel has been in the High Performance Computing (HPC) industry. Today, no matter who you are or what you do, when you think of Intel, a piece of what should come to mind should be, 'How does Intel change our world today?"
Do a search for 'HPC, Intel' and you will find articles, whitepapers, websites, programs and videos of how we have custom built systems and solutions for our partner companies to enhance their HPC server business that in turn enhances the lives for both the end user and those they impact through their work.
Intel has a dedicated organization for building motherboards and systems technologies that provide solutions for HPC. This organization is call the Product Collaboration & Systems Division (PCSD). Globally, PCSD is working around the clock to build and launch new solutions for HPC.
PCSD's vision is to further enhance the value proposition of applying HPC methods to the myriad challenges end-users have in developing or enhancing their own products through showcasing the value proposition of the synergies of various Intel ingredients in the simplest means possible through a healthy and diverse channel environment.
The HPC market segment focus Intel pours efforts into today are diverse, broad and life changing. PCSD's verticals of focus are Health and Life Sciences (Genomics, BIO sequencing), Manufacturing (car crash test, airplane and car noise testing), and Oil and Gas (energy). Other opportunistic verticals are everything in the categories of financial services (economics) and digital content creation (DCC) (the "movies").
With nearly 90% of the HPC CPU volume being addressable by most of our channel customers and with the channel customers already servicing nearly 30% of that volume, PCSD is distinctively positioned to accomplish its primary goal in HPC. While PCSD's boards products are simply an ingredient to the system, there is value to systematically integrating Intel's PCSD HPC ingredients to develop a total solution. Sometimes it starts at the core of technology to line up to making a difference in people's lives.
According to IDC's Q4'14 QView, Intel has achieved better than 92% MSS in HPC CPU volume. The channel has grown to carrying 28% of Intel® Xeon™ to market, as compared to 15% in Q4'12. The overall market segment grew by 11.6% in sockets; Intel® Xeon™ sockets grew by 15.7%. In 2014, 73% of the sockets were sold in procurements at $500K or less.
Based on Intel architecture, Intel is able to make a difference in all of those market segments, and in general in people's lives. Based on Intel architecture, on the versatile Intel® Xeon™ processor family, Intel's PCSD HPC goal is about making it easier for its Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to deploy HPC solutions. Intel's PCSD goal is to drive ever greater value to the end users through thoughtful, synergistic integration of Intel's HPC ingredients into a fully configured simple-to-deploy systems solutions.
So the next time you think of Intel and HPC, think of how Intel is developing technologies and system solutions for its customers that change the face of HPC in business and in turn, in people's lives.

With the proliferation of popular software-as-a-service (SaaS) offerings, the scale of compute has changed dramatically. The boundaries of enterprise IT now extend far beyond the walls of the corporate data center.
You might even say those boundaries are disappearing altogether. Where we once had strictly on-premises IT, we now have a highly customized and complex IT ecosystem that blurs the lines between the data center and the outside world.
When your business units are taking advantage of cloud-based applications, you probably don't know where your data is, what systems are running the workloads, and what sort of security is in place. You might not even have a view of the delivered application performance, and whether it meets your service-level requirements.
This lack of visibility, transparency, and control is at once both unsustainable and unacceptable. And this is where IT analytics enters the picture—on a massive scale.
To make a successful transition to the cloud, in a manner that keeps up with the evolving threat landscape, enterprise IT organizations need to leverage sophisticated data analytics platforms that can scale to hundreds of billions of events per day. That's not a typo—we are talking about moving from analyzing tens of millions of IT events each day to analyzing hundreds of billions of events in the new enterprise IT ecosystem.
This isn't just a vision; this is an inevitable change for the IT organization. To maintain control of data, to meet compliance and performance requirements, and to work proactively to defend the enterprise against security threats, we will need to gain actionable insight from an unfathomable amount of data. We're talking about data stemming from event logs, network devices, servers, security and performance monitoring tools, and countless other sources.
Take the case of security. To defend the enterprise, IT organizations will need to collect and sift through voluminous amounts of two types of contextual information:
As we enter this brave new world for IT, it's clear that we will need an analytics platform that will allow us to store and process data at an unprecedented scale. We will also need new algorithms and new approaches that will allow us to glean near real-time and historical insights from a constant flood of data.
In an upcoming post, I will look at some of the requirements for this new-era analytics platform. For now, let's just say we're gonna need a bigger boat.
